Summary of Japan-Egypt Relations, 1862-2005

The very first Japanese delegation to Europe passed through Egypt in March 1862, and thereafter many more Japanese travelers came to Egypt during their travels abroad. As a result, Egypt became the best-known Arab country to the Japanese from that time onward, although in general they may have been more fascinated with the country’s ancient, pre-Islamic history than with modern Egypt.

Until 1952, Egypt was under the rule or decisive political influence of Britain, and Tokyo’s political relationship with the country was shaped by Anglo-Japanese relations. During the period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance (1902-1922), the sympathies of most Japanese were squarely with the British rulers of the country, with Lord Cromer being particularly admired. Indeed, some Japanese leaders viewed British policy in Egypt as a useful model for Japanese policy in Korea.

In the late 1930s, when Anglo-Japanese relations had turned sour, many Japanese began for the first time to take a serious look at the Egyptian nationalists struggling against British authority. Only then did some Japanese come to realize that they potentially had some kind of common cause with modern Arab Egyptians.

On the other hand, Egyptian nationalists like Mustafa Kamil (1874-1908) had much earlier come to view Japan as a rising power in the East that was destined to challenge and eventually overthrow European colonialism. The idea that Japan represented an ideal blend of Eastern tradition and Western modernity, and which served as a model for a developing nation like Egypt, has endured in some ways until the current day.

After Japan’s defeat in war, Japan and Egypt slowly rebuilt their friendly relations. When Britain, France, and Israel joined in the Suez War against President Abd al-Nasr’s Egypt in 1956, the sympathies of most Japanese were with the Egyptians. For many years afterward, Egypt continued to be a “frontline” state in the Arab-Israeli conflict, which was a point that often kept it within the sphere of public attention in Japan.

In the Mubarak era, Japan-Egypt relations have continued to be relatively strong. The Egyptian president made a number of state visits to Japan since 1983, and three Japanese prime ministers -- Toshiki Kaifu, Tomiichi Murayama, and Junichiro Koizumi -- made state visits to Egypt during their terms in office. However, there was also a major terrorist incident in November 1997 in which dozens of Japanese tourists were killed in Luxor, Egypt. The Egyptian Embassy in Tokyo has long maintained a leading role in promoting Arab regional issues and interests.
